Gantt chart or project plan, and a project plan PowerPoint presentation. You must
submit the three (3) sections as separate files for the completion of this
assignment. Label each file name according to the section of the assignment for

statement of work for the project. Your goal is to have the project approved by the
executive team and the venture capital group. The project plan is very detailed
which is appropriate to accomplish the monumental task of implementation.

that information technology will afford your organization.
